Both sides of the camera: anthropology and video in the study of a Gcaleka women's rite called Intonjane.Cloete, Laura 09 February 2015 (has links)
This thesis explores the potential of video as a research
tool for anthropologists in the recording of a single
ritual. The study examines interactions between
ethnographers, informants and viewers. The thesis
reveals the capacity of video to make possible close,
detailed readings of performance in terms not originally
anticipated by the researcher. Archival storage of the
video recording allows for critique and assessment of the
research.
The case study chosen in which to test the potential of
\ dcso as a research tool was a woman's 'initiation'
r^L'ial (called inton jane) in Shixini in the Eastern Gape
(in what was, until recently, the independent homeland of
Transkei). Historically, the ritual was supposedly held
at the time of a girl's first menstruation, this being
the physical symbol of her transformation into adulthood.
Ritual seclusion served to effect an accompanying social
transformation in preparation for marriage.
Paradoxically, in the late 1980's, it was older women and
mothers, already married and well past the age of first
menstruation, who were undergoing the ritual seclusion
and symbolic marriage. The study explores this paradox
with the goal of understanding the purpose of the ritual
in contemporary times. By recording large segments of
the ritual on video, and subjecting the footage to a
close analysis of verbal and non-verbal aspects of
performance, both the ritual and the merits of video as
a research tool could be examined.
Video was utilised, in an interactive research process,
as an information elicitation tool. The analysis of the
recorded text of the ritual brings to the fore elements
which make what is apparently a paradox understandable.
The elements which explicate the paradox were not
anticipated when the research commenced, and in all
likelihood would have eluded a researcher who did not
have the benefit of the incidental capture on video. The
thesis reveals the enormous Contribution video can make
to research and suggests that video has an important
contribution to make to the discipline of anthropology.

Organizational Values in a Family-Owned Aquatic Center A Case Study : A Neo-Institutionalist view on the influence of meaning systems, as manifested by organizational values, in a Family-Owned Aquatic CenterHoyos de la Garza, Ernesto January 2020 (has links)
The main objective of this case study is to understand how organizational values of a family business are influenced – or are the outcome of – the interactions between the controlling family, their employees, and the social context by which they are surrounded. To investigate this topic a case study research design was applied and a family-owned and -managed Aquatic Center was selected as the company in focus. First, the organizational values were determined through the application of semi-structured interviews and observations. The units of analysis for the case study were the Top Management Team (TMT) and the employees of the organization. The former is composed by three members of the controlling family and the latter by the employees who are in most contact with the TMT and the clients of the Aquatic Center. After the Thematic Analysis of the empirical data eight organizational values were identified. These organizational values, along with excerpts from the interview, were analyzed from a Neo-Institutionalist lens and three meaning systems were identified to be influencing the organization and its structures. These three meaning systems were labeled as (1) Swimming the Sport; (2) Health Club Business; and (3) The Owning Family. The set of rules, enforcement mechanisms, and effects that these three meaning systems have on the overall organization were also defined.

Italian-american Ethnic Concentration, Informal Social Control, And Urban Violent Crime: A Defended Neighborhoods ApproachMarshall, Hollianne Elizabeth 01 January 2012 (has links)
This study examines the impact of white ethnic concentration on robbery and homicide in Chicago and New York City. As one of the first to disaggregate white ethnic populations, this study has the expectation that Italian-American concentration will have a stronger influence on robbery and homicide than any other white ethnic concentrations. This study is founded on prior qualitative research suggesting that the reputation of Italian-Americans influences the behavior of outsiders in their communities. The data show there is a significant and negative relationship between Italian-American concentration and the violent crimes robbery and homicide. This relationship only exists for white ethnic concentration with robbery. These patterns occur across both cities at three different aggregate levels. The results indicate that there may be particular characteristics about Italian-American ethnic concentrations which have dampening effects on the frequency of homicide and robbery in their communities; it is speculated that a reputation for Mafia involvement is one of the protective factors.

Psychological strengths and disability : a study on hearing-impaired adultsDe Wet, Tessa 31 March 2008 (has links)
South Africa's equity legislation demands the incorporation of persons with disabilities in the workforce. Owing to the unique challenges that these people face, they need well-developed salutogenic characteristics such as sense of coherence, self-efficacy and locus of control in order to integrate effectively into mainstream environments. The objective of the research was to explore these salutogenic constructs in the hearing-impaired adult population and to note differences between the different sub-groups within the sample (N = 63). A biographical form and combination of salutogenic questionnaires were employed to measure these constructs. Descriptive statistics and non-parametric tests were utilised to analyse the data. The results showed statistically significant inter-group differences in all three salutogenic constructs. These differences were found for age groups, onset of deafness, deafness category, primary school attended, hearing status of spouse and parents, and level of qualification. / Industrial and Organizational Psychology / M.A. (Industrial and Organisational Psychology)
